Furniture Store Suggestions?

Hi Ladies,

I've been in Milwaukee for almost a full year now and my DH and I are trying to furnish our new house.  We've been to Steinhafel's, Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn and The Home Market, but I was wondering if there are any local stores that anyone could suggest since I am not quite sure where to look!  We're open to drivnig a ways if the store is worth it!

Thanks for any suggestions!

  • I am not a fan of Colders.  American, JC Penny, Built Rite, Furniture Deals and Steals, Boston Store Furniture Store.

  • We got our furniture at Ashley and had a pretty good experience.  I do not recommend American. They have delivered multiple broken items to friends/family members, with full knowledge that the items were broken when they were loaded onto the truck. 
  • We are happy with the living room furniture and delivery from Steinhafels - love the showroom out in Waukesha. Its huge!
    Married June '03. DS born Jan '09. DD born Feb '12. No, we didn't choose to be childless for the first 6 years, only the first 3.

    We got our leather couches from Steinhafels too in Waukesha.  It's been 3 years and they are in great condition and they are super comfortable!

  • I've had great experiences at the Colders in Oak Creek.  Every time I've been in the American nearby, I felt like the salesperon was putting a lot of pressure on me.

  • We bought our furniture 2 years ago at Ashleys and while we love our tables, I HATE our couch and loveseat.  DH insisted on recliner and it feels like you are sitting on wood boards.  Its terrible.  I get back pains after watching a movie.  I don't know if all Ashley furniture is cheap... but really, we were right out of college and we got what we paid for.  ack!

  • Check out this website: www.roomandboard.com. This is one fabulous furniture store ... although it is in Chicago. My Husband and I bought a couch from there three years ago and it still looks and feels as comfortable as the day we bought it! We have lots of other furniture from there as well. Great customer service.

    Make a day of going down to Chicago. There is one store downtown and one in Skokie, Illinois. PLUS ... every year on December 26 they have a HUGE sale on all their floor samples. We ask for room and board gift certificates for Christmas and then have a little spree after Christmas.

    Hope this helps.
